Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book takes a mathematical approach to crystallography. Serving as a guide both for students and for practicing scientists, it introduces tools to unravel the complex, three-dimensional forms of crystals. The author acknowledges crystallography as an essential field of study for chemists, mineralogists, and materials scientists, and emphasizes the need for a simplified system of describing crystals. The book proposes a new notation that simplifies the study of the natural and manmade crystals commonly encountered in the laboratory and the field. It includes a comprehensive survey of the major crystallographic systems, an investigation of the variety of forms and combinations that occur upon the crystals of minerals and a catalogue of all the crystals or natural combinations peculiar to the minerals named in the survey. The book argues for the total relinquishment of the doctrine of primitive forms, as one highly injurious to the science and proposes an easy and exact method of denoting Cleavage by symbols. The author goes on to propose a new theory of crystallisation, founded on an opinion that electricity is the mainspring of crystallisation. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
